Everyone deserves to be financially stable enough to leave abusive relationships. That can be abusive romantic partnerships or abusive work environments. Universal basic income would help everyone be able to leave abusive relationships. Billionaires don't want that. Religions don't want that.

Black text on white background 
"This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss.
 
The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government’s devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians—including more than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. That suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist, and every shipment of food aid turned away at a border crossing. Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief, and we mourn alongside them – all while knowing that our tax dollars fund these war crimes.
 
Three years later, we must refuse to accept a world in which occupation and apartheid continue, where war crimes are met with impunity, and our federal government continues its complicity with every arms shipment.
 
To honor the dead, we must fight for a world in which every person can live with freedom, safety, and dignity."

Thank goodness for the protection afforded to the British public by the Nolan Principles. What? Ohh!
The Seven Principles
• Selflessness: Act solely in the public interest rather than for personal financial gain or other benefits.
• Integrity: Avoid outside obligations that might improperly influence your work, declare any private interests, and do not gain financial benefits for family or friends. 
• Objectivity: Make choices impartially, fairly, and on merit using the best available evidence.
• Accountability: Remain answerable to the public and submit to proper scrutiny for your actions and decisions.
• Openness: Act transparently and keep information public unless there are clear, lawful reasons to withhold it.
• Honesty: Be truthful and clear in all public dealings.
• Leadership: Exhibit respectful behavior, actively promote these ethical principles, and challenge poor conduct in others

Read the official guidance provided by the UK government on The Seven Principles of Public Life.

In 1797, Thomas Paine proposed a national fund to pay every person compensation for the natural inheritance lost when land became private property. That's basic income, two centuries before the term existed.
"To create a national fund, out of which there shall be paid to every person, when arrived at the age of twenty-one years, the sum of fifteen pounds sterling, as a compensation in part, for the loss of his or her natural inheritance, by the introduction of the system of landed property: And also, the sum of ten pounds per annum, during life, to every person now living, of the age of fifty years, and to all others as they shall arrive at that age." ~ Thomas Paine, Agrarian Justice 1797
